African exporters and entrepreneurs are set to benefit from a new package of UK trade reforms that are designed to simplify access to the UK market and strengthen economic ties between the UK and developing countries.

To talk to us further on this we are now joined on the line by Executive Director at Trade Law Centre Trudi Hartzenberg.
